Too Thick To Drink, Too Thin To Plow*
Threat T/o Cleaner Air
Proposed legislation which would: enable citizens
to file class-action suits agaijnst air, waiter and land
polluters would hinder earnest efforts to achieve a
cleaner environment, the National Ass'n. of Manufacturers said in a statement to Congress.
NAM's views, presented to the Senate Committee
on Commerce, emphasized that "the greatest practical
gains in industrial pollution control- have come about
through cooperation between industrial companies and
regulatory officials woking out effective programs
biased on reasonable) timetables.'
"To have tho Congress encourage civil litigation
on these problems rather" than cooperative efforts
would seem to be counter-productive," the NAM said.
The Association's statement said the proposed
Environmental Protection Act of 1970 (S.3575) was
unworkable and unreasonable. "Not only is such a
scheme of court review unworkable through its lack
of specificity but it is unreasonable on its face since
it would inject the judiciary directly into a framework
of administrative regulation established by Congress."
Auto Pollution Target
The howls from Detroit have been overwhelmed
by the still small voice of authority from Washington.
The manufacturers have been saying, in faction; to a
bill demanding virtually pollution-free au^omobDes by
1975, that it simply can't be done. .Cojngress if-in the
iprocess.;of saying: Do it! ;--■ t;.'-*kk" -'k-'*"•'•*.■••*' :•..,.__!_..;%_
:E__ho_vtationnand demand will be fruitless',"'granted, if the manufacturers are in fact right. If it can't
be done, it can't be done; Detroit isjho^a city ^miracles to be performed on command;
There is reason to believe that the manufacturers
have been overstating the difficulties. Evidently these
members of Congress most closely involved in the matter are convinced of this. The House-Senate conference
committee working to reconcile different versions of
clear air legislation has agreed to accept the performance schedule Sen. E. S. Muskie of Maine has been
pushing so hard.
This will require that by January 1, 1975, all
new automobile engines must be so designed that they
produce no more than 10 percent of the polluting
emissions of present engines. Application of this is not
yet wholly assured: both House and Senate must give
final approval first, and President Nixon must sign
the bill The chances appear excellent, however, that
this will come about. That will present the automobile
industry with a demanding challenge. If it meets the
challenge, an enormous forward step in pollution control will have been taken.
Computers and Snooping
Some visionary men worried about a tlhreat of a
machine-dominated world long before technology
bought such a thing into the realm of the possible.
Since World War II the leap has been made. We stand
un the verge of an era when some of science fiction's
grimmest nightmares seem close to reality.
This is not scare talk. Electronic surveillance of
human activities—prying, to put a shorter name to it
—has become a highly sophisticated art. Barring
strict regulation by law, its techniques threaten an
end to privacy. Combined with the ability of a computer to collate a vast range of data and draw relevant
conclusions, electronic snooping might become a tool
of almost absolute and almos. wholly depersonalized
governmental control over human activities.
There has been no lack of warnings about this,
but another would not be amiss. It is with this in
mind that we call attention to the concern expressed
by an international assembly of lawyers at Brussels.
These delegates to a conference sponsored by the
Council of Europe sounded warnings about modern
methods of eavesdropping and of interference with human personality. They also expressed deep concern
about misuse of computers, which in their view might
''become a horrifying tool for prying and repression."
.One thought that seemed especially disturbing to
the assembled lawyers was that the technology of
eavesdropping and even mind control may come into
the hands of private individuals and groups. We already have seen some of this, at least so far as electronic surveillance is concerned. This is arguably not
as bad as absolute governmental control and use of
such means, but the prospect does underscore the
need for careful regulation by law and the courts.-
International restrictions may become necessary
in time; it is not too soon for appropiate bodies in the
United Nations to (consider this. Meanwhile, each nation should look to its own needs within the framework of its basic'liberties. That is true above all of
countries such as ours, where the concept of individual
privacy is deeply cherished as a fundamental tenet of
society.
